Moving Announcements

It just wouldn't feel right if I didn't get excited about finding cute moving announcements to send to friends and family to let them know about our new address. I wanted something simple, cute, and let's face it, inexpensive. At this point, if I were to plop down several hundred for the adorable Kate Spade moving announcements, Hubby would kill me. Love, love, love these. But for $439 for 50 cards, it was just a tad too steep for our 3-days before closing budget.

So, for around $40, I found these online today.

So, it's not Kate, and it's not Crane, but honestly, don't these just get thrown in the trash after a couple of days? Sad, but true.

I knew that moving to our new home was going to be very traumatic for the entire family, so I wanted to find a way to give everyone our new address. I searched the internet and found several good sites that offered real cute moving cards that could be personalized, http://www.cardsshoppe.com/Moving_Announcements/Moving_Announcements_Cards-9-1.htm, http://www.express-invitations.com/moving_announcements/Moving-Announcements-Housewarming-Invitations.php, http://www.cardspersonalized.com/Moving-Announcements-Housewarming-Invitations-11.htm and http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/Moving-Announcements-Moving-Cards/productsList-11-1.htm. I also wanted to order invitations for our housewarming party so all these sites had excellent ones. I ended up buying my moving announcements cards and housewarming invitations from http://www.CardsShoppe.com and was very pleased. Both personalized cards turned out great!
